The Westmead Institute is home to more than 45 research groups concerned with a wide range of human diseases and conditions. Key to our success is the way we connect researchers, clinicians and supporters.

While medical research receives support from governments, some worthwhile projects miss out on receiving grants. Your generosity can help us bridge this gap and translate laboratory discoveries into clinical practice where they can give new hope.

Approximately one in 10 adult Australians have indicators of chronic kidney disease, a serious condition that can progress to end-stage kidney disease. There is little we can do to delay this progression, but we do know that kidney inflammation is a key contributor in deterioration of kidney function.

New therapeutic approaches we have developed include cell therapies and DNA vaccines to target kidney inflammation.
